WASHINGTON, March 3. Those
who talk with President Roosevelt In
private occasionally emerge with
different impression than the Presl-
p- dent nas aoout
what was setd
and done. It has
almost become
habit.
No official rec
ord was kept of
that night pow-
pow he held with
his congression
al leaders. Few
of the details
leaked out. But
anyone who has
been near the
PAUL MALLON . coBgrei slonal
amoklng rooms lately has heard the
different stories from the Demo
cratic leaders.
They will never raise the Issue
aloud, of course, but some of them
wil swear on a stack of Bibles off the
record that no one at the conference
mentioned a 1 ,137,000,000 tax bill.
The first they heard of It was when
they read the White House announce
ment later In the newspapers. They
were amazed.
The talk they heard that night
centered mainly on awo.,000,000 of
new farm taxes and recapturing some
of the Impounded processing taxes.
Only one or two vaguely mentioned
1120,000,000 for bonus taxes. They
thought everyone agreed to keep down
the amount of the bill In the mind
of the public.
Note It Is true that, In the past,
some people-conferring with the pres
ident have understood him to say"
what they wanted him to say, rather
than what he said. It is also true
that this time the congressional lead
ers wanted him to say that little or
no taxes would be enough. '
What the congressional leaden are
trying to do now la to stall until
after the March It tax return are
la. They have been tipped that the
returna will be anywhere from 300.
000.000 to M40.000.000, and will
certainly be more than estimat
ed. The dividends tax receipt
are expected to be especially
surprising. If this proves true. It
will afford a good excuse for refus
ing to follow the president, although,
of course, income receipt have no
connection with the farm bill or
bonus.
This writhing Is only natural. Just

WASHINGTON, March 3. (AP) A tax revision program which
stirred congress by its breadth was proposed by President Roosevelt to
day as a means of raising revenue for the farm program and the bonus.
In a special message, which was
greeted cooly by some Democrats
and condemned from within Jtepuo
llcan ranks, Mr. Roosevelt asked re
peal of the present corporate tax
system which brings' In almost a
billion dollars a year and urged
substitution of a drastic tax on
undistributed corporation profits..
This levy, dealgned to force bll
llona of dollars Into distribution
among stockholders, waa estimated
to yield roughly at 1.600.000.000.

Treasury experts aald the new '
proposal would not only cover the
taxes the president asked congress
to repeal but would raise 8620,000.- j
000 a year additional for the farm
program and the bonus.
This was the only permanent tax
proposed.
The president also asked tempor
ary processing taxes and a special
"windfall" tax to replace the pro
cessing taxes which were lost dur
ing the current fiscal year amount
ing to $500,000,000 In round fig
ures. The chief executive told, congress
his proposals would not only sim
